Well at the risk of this going south fast lol, my wife is very picky about the sausage she will eat. She likes conucha county original sausage a lot, so I tried to make my own version based off guessing from tasting. Although I made what I thought was a delicious sausage she was not as thrilled. Being new to making my own sausage this was my first time deviating from a recipe. Anyone know of a recipe that taste like Conucha county original? Here is what I made and I thought it was great. Cold smoked for 7 hours and then I cooked a few. Delicious. Does not taste at all like a breakfast sausage just a great smoked sausage with some nice afterburner! Oh well more for me. I had made some homade Banh Mi rolls and New Orleans French bread and with some homemade olive oil Mayo it was mighty tasty!

Good looking sausage. Shame she doesn’t like it.

There’s a Connecuh clone recipe here somewhere. Hope you find what you’re looking for.

Your recipe sounds interesting, I've never had the Connecuh sausage so I can't comment on the recipe, but I bet it was good.
I'm a little confused though, you state 2.3 kg of meat but the recipe seems to be for 1 kg. Your cure amount is not enough to make the 2.3 kg safe. It would be perfect for 1 kg.
